Tooth Grinding Treatment
Teeth Grinding, Bruxism Treatment, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent
Tooth grinding, also known as bruxism, usually affects people with overdeveloped jaw muscles and can cause several more complex problems. It can destroy dental enamel, causing long-lasting damage to teeth and can also cause severe headaches, as well as jaw and neck pain. Some people even grind through protective mouthguards provided to them by dentists.
Teeth grinding can lead to other orthodontic conditions, such as malocclusion, which is the misalignment of teeth when your jaw closes as well as other problems such as the fracturing or loosening of teeth.
By treating the Masseter muscle with Botox, we can relax and shrink the muscle so that it reduces or stops tooth grinding altogether. This treatment is also used for jawline slimming.
Botox helps to treat teeth grinding by weakening the masticatory muscles, lessening the muscle’s ability to clench and grind the jaw. The results of Botox can be seen within a matter of days, with maximum benefits seen within a couple of weeks.
